Pasqueflower is one of the first flowers to appear when the snow begins to melt, often in masses. The pale purple, bell-shaped flowers bloom before the finely cut leaves develop and the plant gets taller. The plant is covered in long, silky hairs. The seed head is a feathery plume. The fresh plant is toxic and very irritating and shouldn’t be touched. Native Americans used small amounts of the dried plant for various ailments and conditions: to kill fleas and lice, to staunch nosebleeds, for rheumatism, to alleviate headaches, and to combat lung disorders.

Modern day homeopaths use it to treat painful conditions of the male or female reproductive system, skin conditions, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support its use, so it is not recommended.

    I am Marilyn Phillips, a native of England, whose love of nature and the outdoors from childhood brought me by a circuitous route to Crested Butte, Colorado in 1993 and 16 years later to northern New Mexico. My exploration of the many trails in these areas, my interest in wildflowers and photography, and career in computer system design came together in this creation.
